Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Manufacturing Artificial Silk and the like Thread.
IPC: B65H67/048
Filed: 1913-06-09
Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 13,360. Soc. Anon. des Celluloses Planchon. May 2, [Convention date]. Winding-machines; thread-severing arrangements.-Artificial silk and like thread is wound upon one or the other of two bobbins 1, 1<a>, carried by holders 2, mounted on a frame to which a semi-rotation is automatically imparted so as to bring the empty bobbins into position before the guide-bars for winding and the full bobbins into position for removal. The thread is guided by a bar 14 operated by a driven nut 16, and at the end of each transverse, a stop 26 on the bar operates a lever 27 so as to move a bar 25 to the right or left, and thereby allow one of the stops 9, 9<a>, mounted on a sleeve 6 connected with the bobbin-carrying frame, to pass so that, by means of a pulley 4, the frame is rotated until arrested by the engagement of the other stop with the bar 25. A cam 7 on the sleeve 6 operates a lever which actuates the belt fork of a belt-reversing arrangement for reversing the rotation of the traverse nut 16. The bobbins are secured in their holders by springs, and are driven by disks 12 on a central shaft 3. When the frame is rotated, a pin on the full bobbin is engaged by an eccentric spring-block which forces the bobbin from its driving-disk and brakes it, thereby severing the thread.

Extensions i<1> of the clips limit the forward movement of the targets on the rod g. Double balanced targets', shown in Fig. 12, are threaded on a rod c, Fig. 1, so that one target disappears when struck, and the other target is brought into view. Weights h<8>, h<9>, sliding on straight parts of the wire clip, maintain the upper target in a vertical position. The targets may be clipped on a wire or the like attached to an endless band e, Fig. 1, and may be righted by contact with inclined guides e<3>. Fig. 14 shows disappearing drop targets operated by a wire or cord k<3>, a lever k<2> and parallel links k<1>. When the target platform k is lowered, the targets which have been knocked down are raised by a fixed flange or guide. The scenic screens may be mounted on vertical rollers and be rolled from one to the other. Stationary targets also may be provided.
